The capitalized cost of the building will include the principled borrowed as well as the average interest cost for the year. Total interest paid for the year is equal to $1.2M x 9% = $108K. Because the funds were spent evenly throughout the year, interest is averaged to best capture the cost of the building ($0 interest at the start of the year + $108K interest at the end of the year divided by 2 = $54K.) Therefore, the total capitalized cost is equal to $1.2M + $54K.

All of the interest on the portion of the loan not used for construction will be expensed in the current year ($500K x 8%). In addition, the portion of interest on the construction funds that is not capitalized should also be expensed. This is calculated by taking the average interest paid (because costs were incurred evenly throughout the year) and expensing the uncapitalized portion. Average interest is equal to $100K ($2.5M x 8% divided by 2). Therefore, total interest expense is $40K + $100K.

Nico, Inc purchased equipment by making a down payment of $3,000 and issuing a note payable for $20,000. A payment of $5,000 is to be made at the end of each year for 4 years. The applicable rate of interest is 7%. The present value of an ordinary annuity factor for 4 years at 7% is 4.18, and the present value for the future amount of a single sum of 1 dollar for 4 years at 7% is 0.645. Installation charges were $1,500. What is the capitalized cost of the equipment?

The capitalized cost of the equipment will include the down payment of $3K, the installment charges of $1,500, and the PV of the note payable. The note payable will be paid annually in 4 installments so the PV factor for an annuity should be used. The PV will be calculated as $5K annual payment x 4.18 = $20,900. Therefore, the capitalized cost of the equipment will be $3K + $1,500 + $20,900.
